Christmas Break: Today was Friday

Today was Friday

I spent last night at Lynette's for the second time this week. This has never happened in the history of our friendship. Neither of us slept much, because Lynette had country songs stuck in her head. That morning, I went along with Pete and John to help them buy their costumes at Goodwill for the play they are in. (Fiddler on the Roof; Pete is Lazer (sp?) Wolf, and John is a beggar. ) We found great outfits for them. The funny part was when we were paying for a pair of incredibly crappy shoes for John. They were really bad. They looked like they had been left out in the rain for a few months and then worn by a bum for a while and then maybe chewed on by some animal before they had been given to the Goodwill. The cashier could not find the price tag, so Pete helped her out: "A buck!". She glared at him and rang them up for $3.00. "What?" says Pete, "There are better looking shoes over there for like a dollar fifty!" Pete was concerned about trying to save as much money as possible so he could get something else that was not in the original budget. I was laughing really hard. Nobody else thought it was that funny. The clerk held her ground, but in spite of her, we had exactly $6.00 left over to spend at Krispy Kremes. We ate all but three of the dozen donuts that we bought on the way back home, and when we got there, Lynette finished them off. David might have helped her. Wow.

Then I went to school and practiced. The doors were all locked, but other music majors had found their way into the building anyways, and they let me in. Around 3:00 I went back home, deposited some checks, and then wrapped some presents. Dad is getting everyone books. Soon everyone left to go to our party with Aunt Marion. We love Aunt Marion.
